Enriched weapons-grade uranium consists of 80% uranium-235 (235.044 amu) and 20% uranium-238 (238.051 amu). what is the average

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons with different numbers of neutrons, hence they have different masses.
the natural abundance of these elements vary, we are given percentages in which these isotopes exist.
average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom. the average atomic mass can be calculated by taking the sum of the masses of isotopes multiplied by the respective abundance percentage 
average atomic mass = (235.044 amu x 80%) + (<span>238.051 amu x 20%)
                                   = 188.04 + 47.61
                                   = 235.65 amu
the average atomic mass is 235.65 amu </span>

A mothball, composed of naphthalene (C10H8), has a mass of 1.52g. How many naphthalene molecules does it contain?
Anna35 [415]
The molar mass of naphthalene is calculated as follows,
                          10 x (12.01 g/ mol) + 8 x (1.01 g/mol) = 128.12 g/mol
Divide the given mass by the molar mass to determine the number of moles of naphthalene present in the ball.
                                  n =  1.52 g / 128.12 g/mol  = 0.01186 mole
Multiply the number of moles to number of moles per mole.
                                 (0.01186 mol) x (6.022 x10^23 molecules / mole) = 7.14 x 10^21 molecules

Which pH value represents a solution with the lowest OHM<br> ion concentration?
Arlecino [84]

pH value 1 represents a solution with the lowest OH⁻ion concentration.

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is given by the expression as the negative logarithm to the base 10 of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]

If the pH is lower than 7, pH < 7 then it is acidic

If the pH = 7, then it is neutral

If the pH > 7, then it is basic

If pH is 1 then the solution is showing mostly acidic character,which is least basic in its character.

So if the pH is 1, which is most acidic and least basic solution that is lowest OH⁻ ion concentration.
